This cover design is done for one of infosys’s magazine,which has been Published in different languages in many European and other countries. The theme of the latest issue is demographic banking. In a same platform, new generation banks deal with different kind of population and services. So I had to illustrate something that shows an ensemble of different elements in a same kernel. One of a master heads suggested me to visualize, of different kind of gems in a same shell. I believe, I did a good job and it can be communicated with some texts. But it is rejected by the client, because it failed to communicate the theme..( I content..anyway of quality, that is never a reason for them) Alas!!! IT’ens see the visuals through some meticulously programmed intellect, based on a business platform. But on one matter, I can agree. Especially in IT business software ‘hits’ a customer more than its interface designs. So is the magazine, what they think. But any way the layout of the magazine (already accepted by the client) is so pure. (Narayanmurthy….Please note the point..Ha.. Ha….) I really stunned, being a wonder in IT industry, how this kind of small areas have been neglected by the company. I didn’t see any of Infosys’s software and its interfaces. One question I had in mind then…who is the first person to suggest the designs..? A good designer or the owner of a company?. What ever it is...let it be there. right?? I did new one what I don’t like and sent it. I would like to show you this cover only because I would like this more than any covers what I did recently
How I did(for PS users): I painted the shell in Photoshop referring some photographs , created background in the same and taken some images of pearls and trinkets from photography sites, Cut it and arranged, given shadows manually. I suggest my friends those who carefully try to study PS.. Try to do shadows and highlights manually. it helps the illustration to be clandestine among original photographs, that strew more hues than real…...really hypernatural …!!!!!
